I booked the Bamboo Garden Hotel online after much research. The price seemed good and naturally, since I had never been to Beijing, I knew nothing about the location except that it was in an older part of Beijing.
What a find! After traveling up a dusty Hutong a gate opens to the Bamboo Garden Hotel. An oasis of beauty and calmness. The ...

great hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/12/07
the rooms were very clean and comfortable. the courtyard was very beautiful with bamboo gardens. the staff was helpful and always attentive. it is located down a narrow street off a major street centrally located. it is convenient to the subway. the hotel has a great restaurant.

Beautiful
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/18/06
Very quaint but not in a steriotyped way.... Modern and traditional at the same time The gardens were very pretty and it was a very quiet stay. Walking distance from the Drum and Bell towers as well as Tiananmen a little further on.

highly recommended
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/27/06
I loved the place. It was perfect for seeing around the place and excellent and for getting away from the bustle of the city. The staff were excellent - they couldn't do enough to help. I hope to go back there and will recommend it further.

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/16/06
i would love to go back but i would never stay there ever again it was really disgraceful the people were very rude!!! the food was yuck never going back here again
I loved the gardens and the bamboo. The price quoted was misleading. They did upgrade my room but at a substantially higher price than quoted. The staff is friendly. Be careful if you can't take stairs to request a ground floor room. Also, they were tearing up the pavement and it was inconvenient. However, they do speak English which is a ...

Staying with the secret policeman
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/06/05
This former home of a imperial eunuch and Mao's first chief of the secret police is now a very beautiful and authentic Hutong-style back-alley Chinese hotel. I have stayed in several rooms and will definitiely return to this hotel. The tube station is less than ten minutes walk, and takes you downtown easily. The Drum Tower is a 20 minute walk, ...
